About the sculpture
The marble represents the reclining figure of Galatea, a sea nymph, with dolphins. It was made by Pietro Baratta (1659-1729), who was one of the most active Venetian sculptors at the beginning of the 18th century. This group and its companion figure of Bacchus, sculpted by Antonio Tarsia, probably came from the same fountain: other pieces possibly from the same complex survive at Harlaxton Manor (near Grantham, Lincolnshire), including a Putto in a red marble shell, also signed by Tarsia.
